Re: [ubl-dev] Change to HTTPS for schema downloads

[Kees Duvekot <kduvekot@wehkamp.nl>]

David,

if I read that article correctly they are going to do a HTTP to HTTPS redirect for anyone who is accessing these HTTP links. so the HTTP versions will remain active.

In the specific case that you mentioned the HTTP links is not really a URLÂ .. but it is a URI to identify the standard XSD namespace uniquely as far as I can remember.

so nothing will break right now ... and we could update these to HTTPs when we want to.

I just came across an article in the Register https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2022/08/22/w3cs_transition_https/Âsaying that w3c are transitioning from http to https.

Looking at the UBL schemas, I notice that there are still http: references present.

So for instance from the Bill of Lading xsd file there is:-

Note the xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" which should read:-

Is there a plan to change this? And what is the plan for backward compatibility?
